Homemade Glittered Pine Cones

Our family takes a yearly camping trip in June. This year we gathered and brought home pine cones to make special ornaments as presents for our family and friends. Everyone who comes to our house for Christmas dinner this year will receive one. They are super easy and inexpensive to make. Even the children can help!

You start with a few simple items. Choose a color scheme (mine was sliver and bling of course!)

Pine Cones

Ribbon

Bells (optional)

Spray Paint (silver metallic)

Glue

Glitter (silver and iridescent)

Craft hooks

First, insert the craft hooks into the pine cones. Be gentle, or you will break the petals from the cones. I found these hooks at JoAnn’s in the wood crafting section.

Next, spray paint the cones and let them dry.

Next, glue and glitter!

And lastly, attach the bells to the ribbon and tie the ribbon however you choose.
